I have $10k in a savings account. I need $17k for home foundation repairs. I was going to borrow against my 401k to make up the difference. should I use the $10k in savings out right plus 401k? or should I put the $10k into a secured CD loan plus my 401k loan to finance repairs? submitted by /u/jefehbk [link] [comments]

My employer has told me and the team 4 different dates we would get paid, and is now paying certain people through cash app. apparently I will too. Eventually.

Hi all, I'm reaching out to get advice—anything is helpful. I think like a lot of folks on this sub, I have financial trauma (grew up in a household with limited funds, parent was in severe debt, didn't really have any models for managing money). I feel very vulnerable typing all of this, but I know talking about money is important practice. Trying to keep this brief while providing context—please let me know if I'm missing anything. Recent picture: I got laid off two years ago. I received some severance and then got unemployment. With encouragement from my partner, I decided to return to school to finally finish my undergraduate degree—I'm due to graduate this May. Partner is supporting me, but they also just got laid off and is now freelancing. Current personal finances: Debt $8K …

My uncle died and now I have his leased 2024 volvo. He doesn't have a will to sort out anything. Will I have to pay fees as a beneficiary or can I just give the car back with a copy of the death certificate? submitted by /u/Dry_Catch7597 [link] [comments]

Hi all, please be patient with me — I’m not a great writer. Recently I was in an accident and received some lawsuit money. It’s not millions or anything, but it’s a good amount and honestly I have no idea what to do with it besides maybe saving it for a rainy day or putting it in a high-yield savings account. I was really happy when I found out, but I also feel like I can’t tell anyone in real life because last time I had money, people started asking me for help and I ended up broke. When I turned 18 something similar happened and within a year I gave a lot away to family and spent a lot partying with friends. I always told myself if I ever got another chance, I’d do better. Right now I’ve managed to save about $10k on my own (mostly through Acorns), and this payout will add about another $20k. I do have around $40k in student loan debt and I’m going back to school soon. Part of me wants to just disappear, save it, maybe travel a little and keep the rest safe… but I really don’t trust my own money decisions yet. Funny enough, before this happened I kept telling myself I was already rich in spirit and doing a lot of “money manifestation” mindset work. My goal this year was to reach $100k net worth and this payout basically got me about 30% of the way there, which makes me really happy. At the same time, it kind of sucks because I feel like I can’t really tell anyone in my real life without it turning into people asking me for money. If you were in my situation, what would you do first? Serious advice only please :) TLDR: Accident → payout → suddenly responsible adult with ~$30k and no clue what to do. Previously bad at money, currently trying not to financially self-destruct. Help! submitted by /u/PowerPufff420 [link] [comments]

I am 25 years old and looking forward to start sip worth 30-40k from April onwards. I would want to know few things. My risk appetite is moderate .

Currently living in 800 sq foot house with my wife and newborn baby. Quickly outgrowing the house, we are on 14 acres and the house, as well as the lot are paid off. This puts us in a good position and we are planning to put an extension on the house at around 1300 square feet with a full basement foundation. Unfortunately the quote came back at around 450k with everything included (we are in a very expensive area of upstate NY) and Im starting to wonder if this is the best option? We could buy a house in the area around that same price but we would be sacrificing a lot in terms of peace and quiet and everything we have built up on the acreage. Another option would be to subdivide the lot and start over and build a new, bigger house on the existing lot and rent out the house we are currently living in but the enormity of that project starting from scratch is a bit daunting. Any suggestions and advice would be much appreciated!! submitted by /u/lukemcd2 [link] [comments]

Apologies from the start if this is not the correct place. If I recently took out an auto loan for $17,400 on Feb 2. My first bill was for April 16th for 286$ I paid $1,000 on Feb 12th and this went directly to the principal and interest. My goal originally was to pay 1k total each payment so $286 regular payment +714$ directly to principal each month. I was planning on doing this for 6 months than refinancing. However when I paid my first 1k, they pushed my first bill date back 3 months. My first payment is now not due till July. I called and asked and the money did go directly to my principal but they gave me a grace period for good will or something (I suspect this is to make it seem like I don't have to pay my bill so they make interest) Thanks to my tax return and a bonus at work, I was able to pay another 2k directly towards the principal minus the 15.81$ interest (Over only like 5 days man do I hate interest) My question is if I want to refinance when would be the best time to do it. My current loan is 13,490$ of the 17,400. I want to get a rate that is around 3-4% and shorten the length to about 36 months so I can just go to regular payments and not worry about the interest. While I can make the extra 714$ payment, it is not exactly comfortable. Should I just continue this schedule of paying 1k to my principal each month and pay a total of around 900-1,000 interest. Or should I look into refinancing? submitted by /u/Beautiful-Hawk-5240 [link] [comments]

my former employer was acquired by another company. The 401(k) plan with my former employer transferred to the new company’s plan administrator: TCG administrators. They seem to be a mom and pop shop that is far behind the times in terms of technology. They also seem to be completely understaffed for the amount of business and plans that they take on. Their process for a rollover request is to fill out a paper form and sign it and fax it to them. OK fine, I did that. It has been two months and they have not processed my request yet. The customer service number that’s on their website isn’t valid. I have called many, many times and no one ever answers the call. It’s an automated answering message (it literally sounds like an answering machine from the 90s) that places you on hold, but the…

Hi everyone. I’m a 25F and I really need some advice. I understand the mistakes I have made but need advice and not judgement on how to go forward. I’ve struggled with a shopping addiction for a few years, and last summer during a mental health breakdown I made a huge financial decision that I’m now paying for..I bought a brand new car. My car payment is $620/month and my insurance jumped to over $200/month. At the time it felt like I needed a “fresh start,” but now it’s my biggest financial stressor. Here’s what my monthly fixed bills look like (roughly): Income: $2,760 ish a month Rent: $820 Car insurance: $205 Car payment: $620 Bank loan: $220 (I took this out to try to consolidate/pay down credit cards) Credit card #1: $82 (closed, on a 0% hardship plan) Credit card #2: $41 E…

I just got my bonus and tax return, which amounted to about $24,000 I moved $10,000 into my emergency fund which is a HYSA invested in SGOV bringing the emergency fund to $60,500 total. So I have about $14,000 leftover and I'm trying to think of what I should do with it. For context on our finances, I make $168k and my wife makes $92k. We contribute to 401k to get max contributions from employer We both contribute to a ROTH IRA up to the yearly max We contribute ~$200/month per kid (3 kids) to their 529's. I contribute max contributions to a HSA We have no car loans and no credit card debt. We have a mortgage and HELOC which combine for about $3500/month. We do have a solar loan with about $5k on it at 4.99% interest from solar panels we had put on the house. I'm thinking of maybe paying that off, but I'd also like to replace the carpet on our second floor with hardwood which would be about $9000 if I do the whole thing in one shot. It's the last big thing we need to do inside the house. We don't really willy-nilly make massive purchases like that but I feel like we're in a good spot to do so. But part of me is like should I just put 5k or 6k towards the principal on the HELOC or something. submitted by /u/IHadADreamIWasAMeme [link] [comments]

For context: I'm 24, I bought a car from CarMax at 22 because I was planning to give my little sister my college car for when she was in college. Long story short, was barely making over 50k, terrible credit profile (lot of debt, 650 score), took a loan at 14.6% (be gentle I know it's dumb). I can afford the payments and it doesn't strain me, so if the answer for now is yes, so be it. I'm currently paying $680 a month on CC debt (fixing terrible profile) and have a ~135% LTV on my car based off KBB. I now make 80k and have a 750-760 credit score based on where you look. Anyway, like the title says, am I stuck in the loan for now? I'm going to be CC Debt free in Augustish. Would that be good enough to be able to get a good refi? I just want to either keep payments the same and be done way sooner, or save a few hundred bucks a month to put in a Roth IRA. What should I be planning to do here? submitted by /u/Secret-Living5679 [link] [comments]

Hi folks, I had a kidney stone last week and went to ER. They gave me a little morphine and did a 2 minute CT scan of my kidney. And sent me home. Today, I received a $15,000 bill for this ER visit. I have no health insurance. I called the finance department at the hospital and they offered 70% off the bill if I pay the remainder in full right away. Should I take it? Or can I ask for 90% off? Any advice on negotiating with hospital? submitted by /u/johndoe7376 [link] [comments]

Hey everyone, looking for budgeting/debt advice. plz don't judge the interest rate on the car, I already know it wasn't the smartest choice, would rather not be grilled for something I already grilled myself over. I’m 22 and active duty Navy. Total debt is around $28k: ~$16k student loans (currently in deferment) ~$9k car loan (very high interest rate (~29%), credit score ~560) ~$950 Discover (charged off ~2 years ago) ~$2,100 personal loan (charged off ~2 years ago) $300 unsecured credit card (paid in full monthly) I’m about to receive a $30k bonus. My plan is to immediately pay off the $9k car loan because the interest rate is crazy high. That would leave me with about $21k. Monthly situation: Take home: ~$2,500 (after 10% to TSP) Save: ~$400/month (Factored in take home pay) Car insurance: $200/month Subscriptions: <$60/month No rent Main questions: After paying off the car, should I wipe out the student loans? I'd rather just pay them off monthly instead of 16k all upfront especially as there's no large impact and I'll be making significantly more money in two years from now when they are no longer deferred Should I try to settle the two charged-off accounts even though I haven’t heard anything in years? Or is it smarter to build a large emergency fund first? What would help my credit score the most over the next 1–2 years? Goals are to clean this up, improve my credit, and set myself up to buy a house in a few years. I know I made mistakes early on — just trying to make a smart move with this bonus instead of blowing it. Appreciate any advice. Edit: First and foremost thanks you to everyone who commented and reviewed my post!! I feel pretty confident now that I can make an informed decision going forward!! submitted by /u/maximusprime0122 [link] [comments]

Hi guys, I really need some guidance with my finances. For context, six months ago my Mom and Dad passed away quite suddenly in a car accident. Last week, I received my inheritance of about 150k (they both had very large life insurance policies through the military). I truly don't know what to do with this and I don't have any family to ask for help. I'm only 22 and a first year teacher. For more context, I don't have any student loans (I worked my way through university), and I paid off my car 3 months ago. So, I don't have any debt. I live modestly in a small 1 bedroom apartment. My budget is tight, but not unmanageable. I've never had this kind of money before and don't know what to do next. I grew up very poor and never received any financial education. The check has just been sitting in its envelope since I got it. Honestly, having the money just feels really shitty and the grief makes it hard to think about clearly. I want to put it somewhere it can grow and I still have access to liquidate, I'm just unsure of what that would be. Any help or guidance would be so appreciated. Thank you all. Sorry for the long post! submitted by /u/fennelonion [link] [comments]

Looking for some financial guidance from the more experienced and finance savvy folks - What were mistakes that you experienced (personal or someone else’s) in your personal finance journey? submitted by /u/Tech_Wizzz [link] [comments]

Forgive me if there is an obvious answer to this question; We started a new mortgage in August: $438,000 over 30yr at 6.624%. In 2023 and 2024, we made too much to qualify for Roth IRA contributions, but in 2025 we are under the threshold. Is it better to max out our Roth IRAs for 2025 or to put that money toward paying down our principal? We will hopefully refinance sometime in 2026 once rates drop a bit more, but even with that, I would love to have my house paid off by the time my oldest child starts college (about 10 years from now). For reference, I already contribute 10% of my income to 401k, and between all retirement accounts we have about $300k saved. We probably won't retire until 2055 or so. submitted by /u/Radagastrointestinal [link] [comments]

A spokesman for British Prime Minister Keir Starmer said: “There’s no truth ‌to this.” Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has previously criticised Kyiv’s decision to give up its former Soviet nuclear arsenal in the 1990s without obtaining proper, binding...  ( 43 min )

The ban also includes products from Autel, another China-based drone maker.

Hi guys, hope everyone survived last night’s warzone Lately I’ve been wondering, has anyone noticed how almost every road now has a new condo project coming up? Around my place in Jalan Kuching, it feels like the whole area is transforming into a full-blown metropolis. There’s an MRT station being built nearby, plus more hotels and high-rise residences. What honestly bothers me isn’t development itself, I understand cities grow. It’s more about how much greenery we’re losing in the process. It used to be a place filled with trees and nature. When I played futsal, I could actually hear birds in the background. Soon, I’ll probably just hear the train passing by. Another thing I don’t quite understand is the planning. Companies seems to be launching condo projects everywhere, yet the roads and traffic conditions don’t seem to improve at the same pace. And regarding the new MRT station, we already have two MRT stations about 10–15 minutes away. Wouldn’t it make more sense to improve bus connectivity to those existing stations instead of building another one so close? I’m not against progress, but I do wonder if we’re balancing development, infrastructure, and quality of life properly. Just sharing some thoughts curious to hear what you guys think. submitted by /u/GymsharkSingh [link] [comments]

Hi everyone! I’ll be relocating to Malaysia soon with my family for work. My office will be in Bandar Bukit Raja, and I’m considering living in one of these areas: • Damansara Heights • Mont Kiara • Desa ParkCity I know Klang Valley traffic can be intense, but I’m trying to understand what a realistic daily commute looks like. I need to be at the office by 8:30 AM. When I check Google Maps for public transport, it tells me I’d need to leave 9 hours earlier, which I’m assuming is because it doesn’t know the actual bus/train options for that route. My prefer option would be by car, but I’m not sure if the 40 minutes is realistic For those who live in these areas or commute toward Klang/Bukit Raja: • How long would the drive take if I leave around 7:45 : • Is public transport even a viable option I for this route • Any tips on the best roads or timing to avoid the worst jams Thanks in advance , any local insight would really help me plan! submitted by /u/Ecstatic-Relative-90 [link] [comments]

I’ve been researching investing in US ETFs (mainly VOO and VXUS) from Malaysia and wanted to get insights from people who are already doing it. Based on what I’ve learned so far: • MYR investors face two moving factors: ETF performance + MYR/USD exchange rate • VXUS tends to perform better during weaker USD cycles, while USD strength can cushion losses during downturns • Currency swings usually matter more short term than long term • Trying to time FX movements seems nearly impossible • Many sources recommend DCA and building USD exposure gradually • Keeping a small USD buffer helps avoid converting at bad rates and allows buying during dips Where I’m unsure: Do you convert in large chunks or DCA into USD over time? How much do exchange rates actually impact your long-term returns? Did you ever regret converting at a “bad” rate, or does it average out? Any mistakes you made when starting US investing from Malaysia? Do you pay attention to FX cycles at all, or just ignore and stay invested? Would really appreciate hearing real experiences, especially from those who have been investing through different USD/MYR cycles. submitted by /u/Nxtro69 [link] [comments]

I’m 39F. My take-home pay is around RM8.3k, plus RM2k rental income from a property I own. Right now I’m staying with my parents. My mortgage + maintenance for my property is about RM3.5k/month. Even after rental, I still top up RM1.5k monthly for a house I don’t live in. When I bought the place years ago, I was earning significantly more. I took a 25-year loan because it made sense then. Since then, I’ve had a career change and my income is lower. I don’t regret the change, but financially it’s tighter. Here’s what’s weighing on me: •I can’t sell the property without taking a loss. •If I move into it after the tenant’s lease ends, I’ll be paying RM3.5k out of RM8.3k (~42% of my income) just for mortgage + maintenance. That doesn’t include utilities, furnishing, minor renovations, or general living costs. Technically, I can afford it. But it would feel tight. I wouldn’t have much buffer for saving or investing, and that makes me uneasy. At the same time, I’m 39 and still living with my parents. They’re not forcing me out, and we’re on good terms. But emotionally, I feel… stalled. I want my own space. I want autonomy. I want to feel like I’m building my life, not just optimizing spreadsheets. To make moving out workable, I’m considering refinancing from 25 years to 30 years to lower the monthly instalment. Financially, I know it means paying more interest long term. Emotionally, it might buy me independence and breathing room. I guess my real question is: Is it foolish to stretch a loan tenure for lifestyle reasons? Or is this one of those times where optimizing for quality of life is valid? Would really appreciate perspectives, especially from anyone who’s navigated property decisions after a career/income shift. submitted by /u/Atlantis_Peridot [link] [comments]

With the Russian military performing poorly, Ukraine is clarifying strategy and pushing back with modest success Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, now entering its fifth grim year, has already gone on longer than the entire fight on the eastern front in the second world war. The Soviets marched from the gates of Leningrad to Berlin in a little over 15 months in 1944-45; today the Russian rate of gain in Pokrovsk in Ukraine is 70 metres a day, in Kupiansk, 23 metres, according to the Centre for Strategic and International Studies. The gains are trivial, given Ukraine’s size, amounting to 1,865 sq miles during 2025 (about 0.8% of the country) – so the idea touted by the Russians, sometimes accepted by a credulous White House, that Ukraine is suffering a slow-motion defeat, is not accurate. In reality, even allowing for the fact that hundreds of thousands of homes are without electricity, heating and water after Russian bombing, Ukraine is clarifying its strategy and pushing back with modest success.

This live blog is now closed. Trump news at a glance: president’s decision on Iran attack hinges on last-ditch talks this week Sign up for the Breaking News US email to get newsletter alerts in your inbox Major institutions of higher education in the US are reckoning with the latest release of the Epstein files after discovering the disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein’s relationships with board members, professors and administrators on campuses across the country. In some cases, professors have been placed under review, research centers closed or conferences canceled. Students and staff have responded in different ways, including petitions, open letters and campus forums. The supreme court (will be using lower case letters for a while based on a complete lack of respect!) of the United States accidentally and unwittingly gave me, as President of the United States, far more powers and strength than I had prior to their ridiculous, dumb, and very internationally divisive ruling. For one thing, I can use Licenses to do absolutely “terrible” things to foreign countries, especially those countries that have been RIPPING US OFF for many decades, but incomprehensibly, according to the ruling, can’t charge them a License fee - BUT ALL LICENSES CHARGE FEES, why can’t the United States do so? You do a license to get a fee! The opinion doesn’t explain that, but I know the answer! The court has also approved all other Tariffs, of which there are many, and they can all be used in a much more powerful and obnoxious way, with legal certainty, than the Tariffs as initially used.
